This build is designed to steal minions from the other team, use death nova to make the minions bombs(or fight with them), and also run away from the other team dragging a number of people around with you giving your team an advantage by doing so.

Taste of Death

• Variants:
  • Replace the shadow stepping skills with other shadow stepping skills of your choice.
  • Replacing Aura of Displacement with Flesh Golem to constantly have one to bomb people with.

[edit] Equipment

• Armor doesn't really matter, the more energy the better.
• There are a couple choices of weapons here - it depends on what you want:
  • If you want to make it less obvious use daggers with a +5 energy mod and with whatever else you want - zealous not recommended.
  • If you don't care and just want more energy to do crap with - which shouldn't be much of a problem - use a bone staff and whatever you want, it really shouldn't matter though.

[edit] Usage

• Make sure there is a minion master on your team or hope and pray there is one on the other team so you can use their minions.
• When you find a minion master with a decent amount on them, use Aura of Displacement to shadow step in and then hit them with Verata's Aura. Use Death Nova on all of them as they will die quickly (unless you seriously want to keep them alive). If you want to make the bombing quicker, use Taste of Death to take out the minion's health - for some it will take 2 casts.
• Use the various shadow stepping skills to evade enemies and keep them occupied on you.
• Have fun.

[edit] Counters

• No minion master.
• Mobbing so bad that you die right away anyway.
• Energy Denial(that pretty much kills anyone).

[edit] Notes

• This build isn't for actual serious Alliance Battling, I mean if you want to kill someone go use the BoA sin build, but if you're like me and want to have fun, then use this. Oh wait this is a game we can't have fun.
